Straddled vehicle
Abstract
A straddled vehicle includes a base including a base opening through which an accommodating space is open to an upper side and an opposing portion located around the base opening; an outer lid that closes the base opening; a projection that is located at one of the outer lid and the base, is located outside the base opening, and projects in a vertical direction toward the other of the outer lid and the base; and an outer wall that is located at the outer lid or the base, faces the projection from outside, and is located between the outer lid and the opposing portion in the vertical direction. The opposing portion is inclined relative to a horizontal direction. The outer wall includes a drain passage that is located lower than an upper end of the opposing portion and extends from inside the outer wall to outside the outer wall.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A straddled vehicle comprising:
a base including
a base opening through which an accommodating space is open to an upper side and
an opposing portion located around the base opening;
an outer lid that opens and closes the base opening; a projection that is located at one of the outer lid and the base, is located outside the base opening, and projects in an upper-lower direction toward the other of the outer lid and the base; and an outer wall that is located at the outer lid or the base, faces the projection from an outside, and is located between the outer lid and the opposing portion in the upper-lower direction, wherein: the opposing portion is inclined relative to a horizontal direction; and the outer wall includes a drain passage that is located at a position lower than an upper end of the opposing portion and extends from an inside of the outer wall to an outside of the outer wall.
2 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is a seal that seals a gap between the outer lid and the opposing portion in the upper-lower direction.
3 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
the projection has an elongated shape that is longer than an outer periphery of the base opening; and the projection includes a portion where the projection partially overlaps itself in a radial direction of the base opening.
4 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
the opposing portion is inclined downward from a first side to a second side in a front-rear direction; the projection includes a first longitudinal end portion and a second longitudinal end portion opposite to the first longitudinal end portion; a portion of the projection which extends from the first longitudinal end portion to the second side and a portion of the projection which extends from the second longitudinal end portion to the first side overlap each other in a radial direction; and an end portion located at a radially outer side out of the first longitudinal end portion and the second longitudinal end portion is located lower than an end portion located at a radially inner side out of the first longitudinal end portion and the second longitudinal end portion.
5 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a side stand by which the straddled vehicle stands by itself in a state of being inclined toward a first side in a vehicle width direction, wherein
when the straddled vehicle stands by itself by using the side stand, a lowest position of the opposing portion at which the projection is exposed is located at the first side of the base opening in the vehicle width direction.
6 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a case including a case opening; and an inner lid that opens and closes the case opening, wherein: the base includes a base space therein; and the base space includes a space located at an upper side of the inner lid.
7 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a case including
a main body that defines the accommodating space, a case opening, and a flange that is located around the case opening and projects from the main body to a radially outer side, wherein the base includes an eaves portion that covers the flange from above.
8 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a case including a bottom wall, wherein
the bottom wall includes a bottom wall drain hole through which water having entered the accommodating space is discharged from the accommodating space.
9 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a case including a bottom wall and a peripheral wall that extends upward from the bottom wall and surrounds the accommodating space and a case opening; and an inner lid that opens and closes the case opening, wherein the peripheral wall includes a peripheral wall drain hole which is located at a lower side of the inner lid and through which water having entered the accommodating space is discharged from the accommodating space.
10 . The straddled vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodating space accommodates a battery that supplies electric power to an electric motor that drives a driving wheel of the straddled vehicle.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
